As societal expectations and environmental regulations continue to intensify, assessing and communicating the environmental impact of your products has become a strategic imperative.

The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and the Environmental and Health Data Sheet (FDES) are standardized documents that present a product's environmental data throughout its entire life cycle. The FDES is specific to construction products and integrates both environmental data and health-related elements.

These tools help meet regulatory requirements, strengthen partner trust, initiate an eco-design approach, and seize opportunities in markets sensitive to environmental issues.

A recognized international regulatory framework

The EPDs and FDES are established in accordance with the international standard ISO 14025 for Type III environmental declarations.

The FDES is specifically based on the EN 15804 standard and its national annex, which govern construction products.

Creating these declarations requires compliance with the PCR (Product Category Rules), which define the requirements and guidelines to be considered in theLCA for each product category. Third-party verification is mandatory before any publication.
